another first

a few weeks ago princess announced her tooth wiggled!! WHAT??? you are only five. but sure enough her lower front tooth was quite wiggly. for a couple of days she would not eat much, but couldn't wait for it to come out.

well, frankly, i'd forgotten about and i think she had, too. yesterday, hubby and i had to spend the day in indy. my dear friend was a willing spirit and took my kids for the day. not too bad. the girls had preschool and of course would play but then she had to get mapboy plus her 4 other kids and have them all home doing homework, feed them all, then drop my 2 off at my sister-in-laws! she is a good friend:)

anyways...hubby and i were just pulling into arby's on our way home when my cell phone rings. i see it is dear friend and figure she was calling to tell me the kids were great and at their aunts. well she did tell me that. then she asked: "um...did princess have her tooth this morning?" huh!?? i tell her i'm pretty sure she did and she said mapboy said he was pretty sure she did, but the tooth was gone and nowhere to be found!!

so we are 99% sure the tooth came out with the apple slices and went down with the apple slices. what is it with my kids eating their teeth!? when we got home to get them, she looked up at me with the cutest toothless grin! she is very proud and made sure we wrote a note to the tooth fairy not to take it out of her tummy but that leaving money would still be nice! so the tooth fairy cooperated and princess was thrilled to find the prize this morning.

oh those firsts...it seems like there are fewer and fewer of those each day, but this one, well, i guess i'll have to scrapbook it!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
